Arthur Magazine has been resurrected but it still needs your help to raise the extra funds to make it a smoother relaunch. To show your support you can attend the Arthur Benefit Party tomorrow in Los Angeles. I’m pretty tempted to make the trek up there for this. Details:

Entrance have finally finished their long awaited video for the song Grim Reaper Blues, which Naturalismo earlier described as being “like Helter Skelter in reverse, only with the “Look Out” yell serving as the soft introduction to the eventual climax that sends the song splintering into electric chaos.” The song plays well within the context [...]

Headdresses new album Turquoise was “recorded in a hollow hill in the grasslands of the Sonoran desert under the moon of shedding ponies.” While listening to Turquoise I had the overwhelming feeling of being back in Tucson, taking shelter from the monsoon season and taking it all in through an old and dusty window pane.

Ray Raposa of Castanets and Jana Hunter not only toured and recorded together on a boat, but also seem to be sonically connected in some odd way. It seems whenever news for one of them arrives, the same is true for the other. To bring you up to date, Castanets is prepping his new album [...]
